He may elaborate at a newt con ference Monday. Llllenthsl's reilgnatlon max not totally unexpected. There have been periodic reporta that he waa weary of the pout and that he planned to ttrp out once he fell he had been cleared of the "Incredible mls nieiiaaemenf chargea made agamat him and the AKC by Senator Hlck enlooner in-lowei. A majority of the aensle-houae atomlo committee reported lat month that Ita hearlnga Into the Hickenlooper chargea had been "fruitless." DUpnted But minority report waa aub mttted by republican committee member headed by the Iowa sen atorsharply dlaagreelng. lllrkenlonper, former committee halrman and now lu ranking re publican member, recalled y enter day that he had demanded Llllen thal's resignation at the ouuet of the tnveailsstlon last May. "I look forward to a new atlmu latlon In our atomlo program,' he eald In a atatement laaued In Dea Moines. Thle realgnatlon haa now been submitted and that phaae of j the matter la ended " f- Senator MrMshnn D-Conn. Joint committee chairman, expreaaed re fret at "loalng a great publlo aerv nt." He aald Lilienthal had headed the eommlaalon ably. One White Houae Intimate told a reporter; "Make no mlttake. the president hate like htll to loae LUlenthal." Llllenthal'a realgnaUon followed by two mnnlha Trumana announce ment of September 33 that there had been an atomlo explosion in Soviet Russia. Quickened Blnre that time the eommlaalon haa embarked on an accelerated x panalon program, the coat of which la expected to exceed 1300.000.000. Lilienthal made !t patently clear In hla letter of realgnatlon that he will have much to aay about the atomlo program as a private eltl gen. Lilienthal haa decried what he has called the exceaalve etcrecy lur rounding the enterprise. He told Truman: "Although thla resignation doea bring my work aa a public servant to a clone. It does not mean that I do not Intend to continue to be otlve In public affairs, for this Is the first responsibility of all clllatna In a democracy. "Indeed one of my chief reason! lor wianing to return lo private me la that I may be able to engage In publlo discussion and publlo af fair! with a greater latitude than la either fraslbel or aultabla for one who carrlei ipeclfle publlo reaponsl. bllltles." Another reason, he made clear, Is a financial one. Llllenthal'a resignation was the third from the commission within a year. W. W. Waymark, former editor of The Ilea Moines Ilex Inter and Tribune, left In December, IMS Vn. Robert Bacher realsnrd last May. Controversial The AEO chairman, outspoken to the point of blunlnras, haa been pralaed as a great American and a great administrator, and de nounced aa "leftlah,' arrogant and contemptuous of the wishes of con grew. Ills publlo career haa been one long feud with many congress members dating back to TV A daya when he Incurred the bitter en mity of Senator MrKellar (D-Tenn), now chairman of the senate appro priations committee. MrKellar commented at Memphis that LUlenthal'! announced depar ture waa "for the good of the country. It waa over the proteats of Mc Keller and former Henator Stewart (1-Tenn that Prenldent Truman re appointed Lilienthal to a second nine-year term aa TVA chairman In IMS. It waa one of Truman'! flrat appointments on succeeding the lata Prealdent Rooaevelt. Then In IMS, Truman, a personal friend of LUlenthal, named him to head the atomlo energy commission when that agency took over the atomic bomb enterprise from the army. The commission waa set up under the IMS atomic energy act. Bitter right Llllenthal'a confirmation In 1947 came after a bitter fight, on a M to 31 senate vote. In accepting the resignation. Tru man, addressing Lilienthal as "Dear Dave." wrote: "You have Indeed, through al most 30 consecutive years of public service In tough pioneering Joba slwsya under trrmendoua pressure and often under deatrucllve criti cismearned the right to return to private life. . . "Your reward. I believe, will be In the consciousness of your coun try's confidence In what you have done and In the way you have done If The prealdent. who obviously hsd discussed the matter with Lilien thal prior to the letter of realgna tlon, held the door open to retain him should the need arlae. He said he acted "In full confi dence that should the exigencies or the public Interest demand, you can be prevailed upon to defer termina tion of your service to a time when your withdrawal will not upset plana for dealing with problems which may not have been determined by the end of the year." 1 s -. , I.
